Invitation from the Mysterious Scholar Mansion

The brief clash between Zhou Tong and the powerful Yaoguang was quite impressive, attracting the attention of countless people in Jade Pool, who immediately rushed over.

When they arrived, they found everyone lying on the ground, while Zhou Tong stood quietly with his legs embedded in the earth.

"He withstood the Supreme Dao Divine Might!" The people from Jade Pool were greatly shocked to see Zhou Tong still standing in the same spot.

Although he only unleashed a trace of the Supreme Dao Divine Might, even a great power should not be able to withstand it, yet he, a mere half-step great power, was able to withstand it.

"Bear!!"

Just then, Phoenix Flames ignited on Zhou Tong's body, instantly healing all his injuries. He stepped off the ground, his indifferent gaze sweeping over the group of people in front of him.

"Thump thump thump!"

That calm gaze alone was enough to make some of the more timid people take several steps back.

"What happened here?" At this moment, an elder from Jade Pool spoke up.

"This boy just severely injured a disciple of my Yaoguang. Your Jade Pool allowed such a madman to commit such atrocities. You must give Yaoguang an explanation!!" The powerful figure from Yaoguang got up from the ground and glared angrily at Zhou Tong and the elder from Jade Pool.

"What! The Stone Appreciation Convention is about to begin, and someone actually made a move at this time?"

"Who is this person, so ferocious as to dare to make a move in Jade Pool?!"

Countless people around gasped in shock. This was no ordinary incident; to dare to make a move right here in Jade Pool was a direct slap in the face to Jade Pool.

News of what happened here spread quickly, and many people from Jade Pool rushed over.

Ye Fan and the others were no exception.

"Zhou Tong? He's clashed with the people from Yaoguang?" Ye Fan was incredibly surprised.

But soon, he looked at the two people lying on the ground not far away, and he could vaguely make out who they were. "It's Liu Yunzhi and Li Changqing! So it was them!!"

"So it was those two treacherous bastards! Well done!" Pang Bo shouted.

Pang Bo's shout immediately drew the Yaoguang of countless people from Yao Guang, who stared at him angrily.

What are you looking at!

Pang Bo glanced at the group and sneered, "You guys at Yaoguang are all like this, taking in trash like this. No wonder you've done so many bad things."

"What did you say?!" One of Yaoguang's disciples glared at Pang Bo.

Pang Bo was about to speak, Ye Fan tugged at him, and at the same time, the crowd parted and several people walked over.

One of the women looked to be around thirty-five or thirty-six years old. She was beautiful and dignified, with a peaceful expression. Her black hair swayed gently, a red dot appeared between her eyebrows, and her eyes were like water, making people feel very close to her.

Beside her stood three extraordinary elders. One wore a golden feathered robe, seemingly about to ascend to Feathered Ascension. Another was dressed in purple, surrounded by Purple Qi, exuding unparalleled nobility. The last one was ethereal and Nothingness, like a wisp of mist, imprinted into the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

"These people... are from the Mysterious Scholar Mansion of Central Plains!" Everyone looked solemn upon seeing these people.

"You are a descendant of Source Heaven Master, aren't you? What grudge do you have that you want to settle in my Jade Pool?" The Queen Mother of the West looked at Zhou Tong.

"There's nothing major between us, I just don't like these few people!" Zhou Tong said calmly. "Does Jade Pool want to get involved in my personal grudges?"

"Jade Pool has always been neutral, indifferent to any private grudges from the outside world. But this is Jade Pool, and I hope you will not bring your personal grudges here!" The Queen Mother of the West's voice remained as calm and composed as water.

"Queen Mother, please rest assured, I only saw an enemy and acted rashly in a moment of panic. Please forgive me!" Zhou Tong realized that the Queen Mother of the West did not want to make a big fuss, so he went along with her.

The Queen Mother of the West nodded inwardly, but just as she was about to suppress the matter—

"My disciple from Yaoguang was severely injured in your Jade Pool. Is Jade Pool just going to let this go?" an elder from Yaoguang asked.

"These two Pure Yang Spirit Pill are more than enough to save these two disciples!" With a wave of her hand, the Queen Mother of Yaochi sent two pills into the mouths of Li Changqing and Liu Yunzhi.

"Crackling and popping!"

Instantly, their tattered bodies were healed by the powerful medicinal properties of the pills, and their cultivation even broke through their original levels, reaching the Dragon Transformation Realm.

"So, is Yaoguang satisfied?" asked the Queen Mother of Yaochi.

Now, the Yaoguang Holy Land had nothing to say, because they had already gained real benefits, and those two disciples had turned misfortune into good fortune.

"Then everyone may disperse!" the Queen Mother of the West said calmly.

The other Holy Son Saintess, as well as some elders from the holy land, all nodded and left.

The large group of people quickly dispersed.

Ye Fan, Pang Bo, and the others surrounded Zhou Tong.

"I didn't expect those two birdmen to come to Jade Pool too!" Pang Bo Sound Dao, "Why didn't you use more force and just kill them?"

"This is Jade Pool. If we kill them, Jade Pool will lose face. What if they use Imperial Weapon to suppress them?" Zhou Tong also transmitted his Sound Dao. "But don't worry, these two scourges won't escape... I've already done something to them. As soon as they leave Jade Pool, we'll make our move!"

"You're really clever, kid!" Pang Bo's eyes lit up.

"You're really ruthless! You've achieved your goal, no wonder you gave in to Jade Pool earlier!" Ye Fan's lips twitched.

"This generation is truly brilliant. Not only has an Primordial Sacred Body that broke the curse appeared, but the legendary Azure Heaven Hegemonic Blood has also emerged." Suddenly, the old man standing next to the Queen Mother of the West, dressed in a golden feather robe, nodded.

"You are..." Ye Fan asked hesitantly.

"This is a remarkable figure from the Central Plains," said the Queen Mother of the West, her voice dignified and holy, her eyes ethereal.

They were definitely important figures, Ye Fan and the others guessed, otherwise the Queen Mother of the West in Jade Pool wouldn't have given such a reminder and introduction; however, Zhou Tong had already figured out the background of these people.

"Would you two be willing to go to Central Plains to cultivate?" the old man in the golden feather robe asked calmly.

Fearing that Zhou Tong and Ye Fan might not understand, the Queen Mother of the West Jade Pool West smiled and said, "The Mysterious Scholar Academy is about to reopen. This is a rare opportunity."

Beside them, Li Heishui and the others were astonished, stammering, "Once every ten thousand years... Is the Mysterious Scholar Academy going to reopen again!?"

"Only those at the level of Holy Son can enter. It is a sacred land where kings grow. It reopens once every ten thousand years. I never expected to come here again!" Wu Zhongtian's eyes shone with divine light.

"I've heard that each time, the most outstanding young experts are selected from the Central Plains, the Northern Plains, the Western Desert, the Southern Ridge, and the Eastern Wasteland. Is that true?" Jiang Huairen asked.

The old man in the golden feather robe nodded and said, "Each holy land can send a maximum of two people. This applies to the five major regions, including the Central Plains, the Eastern Wasteland, and the Southern Ridge. Only young, top-tier experts will be selected."

"Does the Mysterious Scholar Mansion contain any ancient scriptures?" Ye Fan asked curiously.

Having already reached the Paragon of the Four Extremities Realm, he now desperately desires a scripture from the Dragon Transformation Realm.

The elderly man, dressed in purple and exuding an air of supreme nobility, spoke like an emperor ruling over the world, "We have no ancient scriptures, we do not transmit profound methods, we only impart the insights of the sages."

"One day, you may find that the vast Eastern Wasteland and the boundless Central Plains are not so big after all. The Qishi Academy may be able to open another window for you," said the Nothingness old man, who seemed like a wisp of mist.

"I think I'll pass... The Mysterious Scholar Mansion might not have what I need. I'll wait until I feel the world is too small before I think about it!" Zhou Tong shook his head.

"I'll pass on that too. I need to figure out my own path myself!" Ye Fan shook his head.

"Everyone has their own ambitions." One of the old men nodded and said no more.
